Women's Health: Managing the changes as we age

Sleep, Memory, Mood

Sleep is the cornerstone to good health. We owe much of our memory and
mood to a good night’s sleep. Unfortunately, sometimes sleep eludes
us, especially as we age. Join Dr. Allison Willette as we discuss how
to find
restful sleep, improve mood and sharpen memory with practical, useful
tips and tools.

Presented by Dr. Allison Willette
Dr. Willette worked many years as a nurse and realized she wanted to learn more about homeopathy and complementary medicine. Her experience as a nurse led her to understand that the medical world needed more people who could understand conventional medicine and alternative medicine. She decided to study naturopathic medicine in Portland, Oregon, at National College of Naturopathic Medicine.
Dr. Willette founded Good Sense Healthcare to provide service for all who want to improve their health, wellness, and practice preventative medicine. As a healthcare practitioner, her objective is to support my patients in achieving their goals and attaining the most optimal health possible.

Metabolism and Motivation

Metabolism changes as we mature. A busy life can make it difficult to
practice daily preventative medicine, such as exercise and balanced
nutrition. Work with Dr. Allison Willette to learn about how to manage a
slower
metabolism by using the systems you already have in place. Stay
motivated and on track to aging with grace and dignity.
